Julianne Hough wore blackface to portray Crazy Eyes from "Orange is the New Black."

For a 2013 Halloween party, Julianne Hough went as a popular "Orange Is the New Black" character who is portrayed by black actress Uzo Aduba. But in addition to the classic orange jumpsuit, she clearly wore blackface as part of the costume.

"In this day and age people are so sensitive that no matter what you do, somebody is going to make a big deal out of it," he said. "I get that race is a touchy subject, but not everybody is that way. Media tends to make a big deal out of things."

Sarah Silverman wore blackface for a plot line on her Comedy Central show.

In a 2007 episode of "The Sarah Silverman Program" titled "Face Wars," the comedian wants to "be black for the day" in order to better understand the struggles of being black in America.

The satirical episode follows Silverman's character wearing obvious blackface, not realizing that others can see it's makeup, and playing into multiple stereotypes.

Silverman addressed the episode in 2015 during an appearance on "Watch What Happens Live."

"Me and the waiter in the restaurant, played by Alex Désert, switch [races]," she explained, as reported by People. "I say it's harder to be Jewish, and he says it's harder to be black, and we switch for the day. And it's really aggressively stupid, and we're both idiots."

"Now it's forever there and it looks [like] it's totally racist out of context, and I regret that," Silverman continued. "But there's nothing I can do about that."

Kylie Jenner's skin tone was transformed when she did a photo shoot with a black light.

"Making MAGiC w/ KYLiZZLE. PEEPS BE GETTING TURNT UP ON THIS SKIN SITCH. BLACK LIGHTS & NEON. Does no body know about lighting ??" Jenner had originally captioned one photo, tagging her makeup team. "What I wish I looked like all the time thank you."

Later, after noticing the backlash, she changed the caption: "This is a black light and neon lights people lets all calm down."

Some defended Jenner's "gray" and "shiny skin," noting that she looks more like an alien in the photos than a person of color.

Actress, singer, and activist Zendaya wrote on Twitter that she had a similar initial reaction — but also pointed out that people should "stay aware of what image we project."

At the New York Friars Club Roast in 1993, "The Good Place" actor Ted Danson donned exaggerated blackface during his opening monologue, which was reportedly saturated with the N-word.

"We wanted them really moody; I was really tan," she said. "I wanted to show the contour. The photos ended up being a little bit darker than I was. There were some people online saying I was doing blackface and the photos were inappropriate."

Kardashian West later adjusted the images and replaced them on her website.

On "KUWTK," the beauty mogul said the call-out culture can be "toxic" — but also admitted she "can get" why people were accusing her of blackface.

"When you're running s---, you just literally have to own up to it and change it and fix it," she said. "I fully understood what people were saying. … I would never ever, ever do a photo shoot like that and I would never disrespect anyone."

Luann de Lesseps wore blackface and an Afro wig for a Diana Ross costume.

"Although I understand what Vogue Italia's intentions were, it was not executed correctly, and the concerns that have been brought up are valid," she wrote on social media. "Please know that things would have been different if my control of the situation was different."

"Regardless, I want to apologize because my intention is never to diminish those concerns or take opportunities away from anyone else, and I hope this can be an example to other magazines and teams in the future."

"If we put 'The Man Show' on today in its identical form, it would be an even bigger hit than it was back then. I believe that very strongly," Kimmel told Esquire in 2017. "Because there's more back to lash against. … It would absolutely result in a s---storm, and there's absolutely nothing better for ratings than a s---storm."
